Brock Fellows

Tenured and Tenure-track faculty are eligible to apply to be a Brock Fellow. These faculty members propose, design, and launch an innovative course for academic credit using the three pillars of Brock: 1) a focus on an unresolved civic issues; 2) a place-based approach; and 3) an interdisciplinary team of faculty/staff. In return, Brock Fellows receive reassigned time from part of their teaching load, professional development, curriculum development support, and a stipend for the duration of the two-year Fellowship. The Fellow's home department receives funding support to cover the courses reassigned as a result of the Fellow's commitments.
